This summer I tackled the Goodreads Summer Reading Challenge, which you can find by clicking this link here: Summer Reading Challenge. There were two different challenges depending on if you want to do the Beginner Level or the Expert Level - I personally did the Beginner Level, because I had a lot happening this summer, and didn't have as much time to read for the Expert Level Challenge. So my summer started back in May, so personally, I started this challenge this Monday, May 21st, and I am ending on Friday, August 31st.

I did something a little different with this challenge, because there were so many categories to read and because of the time restrictions that I had over the summer, I did this challenge as a combined challenge for my YA and Adult books. This will also be posted over on my Adult blog.

So here are the requirements and books I completed for the challenge:

Summer-Related Tasks:

Into the Great Wide Open: Read a book that takes place out in the great wide open ~ One Was Lost by Natalie D. Richards

Get Your Grill On: Read a book that features summer recipes or outdoor summer activities

About Me

Hello Everyone, I am Chelsea. I have been reading and reviewing books since 2013... 2014. Not exactly positive what year I started, I know I didn't relly get into it until 2014. I have been blogging since 2014, although this is a new blog. I had issues on my first, just due to it being my first year in college, so I joined up with a friend, and that didn't work at (at now fault to her or me, it just wasn't working out with our schedules and other personal reasons), so I decided that I would start doing it by myself again. I can't give links to either of my previous blogs (since I'm not exactly positive if either are active anymore). I love reading YA, and I'm not against reading anything adult, but I will be keeping this blog (at least in regard to review) solely focused on YA. I will read almost any genre in YA, but I particularly like fantasy, historical fiction, paranormal (I know it's technically fantasy, but I always put it in it's own category), dystopian/apocalyptic, horror/thriller, mystery/crime, sci-fi, and steampunk... so basically anything that isn't realistic or contemproray. :)
